Abstract

This list contains the results of some measurements made between 1966 and 1975, and includes some earlier unpublished dates. Samples are counted in the form of acetylene gas, as previously, and ages computed on the basis of the Libby half-life, 5568 ± 30 years. The dates have not been corrected for fractionation by making a 13C measurement. The error listed, always larger than the one-sigma statistical counting error commonly used, takes into account possible fractionation in the laboratory and in nature and variability experienced with replicate samples. We thank Linda Wilt for helping in the preparation of the manuscript and Charles Oman for his technical assistance.
